Marriott has been selected to build a Marquis hotel next to the upcoming Music City Center here.
The proposed 1,000-room hotel will be only the fourth Marriott Marquis hotel in the world, after properties in Atlanta, New York and Washington, D.C. Marquis is Marriott’s top-line brand.
Marriott International was chosen from a group of seven applicants to operate the hotel. The company already operates the downtown Renaissance Hotel, which is attached to the current convention center. The new proposed $635 million convention center still requires city council approval. The hotel has an estimated price tag of $200 million.
